Proinflammatory Th17 cells are expanded and induced by dendritic cells in spondylarthritis‐prone HLA–B27–transgenic rats

Abstract: Conclusion. Our findings indicate that expanded CD4؉ T cells in B27-transgenic rats exhibit a proinflammatory Th17 phenotype characterized by IL-17A and TNF␣ production. Furthermore, this population is preferentially induced by DCs from B27-transgenic rats. These data point toward an induction of Th17 cells as a possible pathogenic mechanism in this model of SpA. However, their pathogenic role still needs to be shown.

“…More recently, investigations conducted in the B27-transgenic rat model for spondyloarthritis showed that Th17 cells contribute to both intestinal and joint inflammation; IL-17-producing cells were expanded in mesenteric as well as in popliteal lymph nodes (16). In agreement with this, we found early expression of IL-17 in popliteal and inguinal lymph nodes of mice undergoing S. Enteritidis enterocolitis.…”

“…[6][7][8][9][10] Several lines of evidence have identified the interleukin-17 pathway as a promising therapeutic target in spondyloarthritis. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17] Indeed, numbers of interleukin-17-producing cells are elevated in the circulation and target tissues in patients with ankylosing spondylitis. [14][15][16][17][18] Secukinumab is a fully human, anti-interleukin-17A monoclonal antibody with proven efficacy in psoriasis.…”

“…Another hypothesis is that ERAP1 polymorphisms could affect gene expression level (19). In the present study, we investigated the influence of ERAP-1 genetic makeup on its quantitative expression, at both the messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein levels, as well as enzymatic activity in monocyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs), antigen-presenting cells relevant to the study of ERAP-1 function and potentially involved in SpA pathogenesis (27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32). We also accounted for the marked linkage disequilibrium.…”
